May challenge - Altered Eclectics

Morning all,

Ohhhh, it's May! That means it's not long until we go on holiday! Really need it, as instead of cutting down at work like I was supposed to, my work has about doubled since before Christmas. Something's gotta give, and I'd rather it wasn't me! lol.

The colours haven't quite come out as true to life as I'd hoped, but I'm really loving the crackle medium I used here, and the penny farthing is one of my favourite charms ever. The charms and flowers all came out of a recent Craft Box, as did the gorgeous gold micro beads.

The music is from an actual sheet of music. We got donated a whole stack of it at work, and some were not fit to be sold (falling apart), but perfect for crafting with! Of course, I bought some to play on the piano as well as the craft desk too, lol.

About Me

I started card making in the summer of 2012, and was soon completely hooked.
I adore vintage and distressed looks (Tim Holtz is my hero!), and have a not-so-healthy obsession with paper. In fact, I sometimes find it hard to actually *use* the paper pads I buy, as the paper is so pretty I just want to sit and look at it!
I have two kids, aged 16 and 13, the eldest shares the card making bug, the youngest loves it when I makes things for him.
I also have a husband who puts up with it, and glares at me whenever I spend large amounts of money on craft supplies! ;-)
